and posteriorly ; legs ochreous, anterior and middle til)iac and tarsi and 

 posterior tarsi fuscous marked. Forevvings brownish fuscous, with three 

 dorsal outwardly-oblique white streaks widened at base and margined 

 with a few black scales, somewhat curved apically, the third one nearly 

 connected with a white slender outwardly-oblique black-margined line at 

 three-fourths of costa, beyond this white line three or four white costal 

 spots ; a round black spot at apex with a few pale bluish scales, a few 

 pale bluish scales between this spot and the third dorsal white streak, 

 sometimes this area ochreous; apical and terminal cilia brownish, paler 

 near base and black at extreme base, tornal cilia very pale brown. 

 Hindwings and cilia pale brown. Abdomen pale brownish. Expanse 

 of wings, 7.5-8 mm. 



Resembles epihathra Walsm. and hihiscella- Sw., but a 

 smaller species, the ground color of forewings darker, and 

 slight differences in apical markings. Described from 6 speci- 

 mens reared from mines in leaves of Neraudia melastomaefoUa. 



Hab. Two specimens Punaluu, Oahu, June 11, 191G, and 

 4 specimens Waiahole, Oahu, August 13, 1916 (Swezey). A 

 series of five specimens reared from leaves of Pipiurus albidiis 

 at Pahoa, Puna, Hawaii, September 20, 1918 (Swezey) seems 

 to be the same species. Neraudia and Pipturus are near re- 

 lated trees, and it is not unlikely that the same species might 

 attack botli plants, tho of three species of Philodoria mining 

 Pipturus leaves, not one of them has yet been found mining 

 Neraudia leaves.
